Steps to reproduce:

1. Run Layout 1 in Debug using Node Webkit

2. Select full screen

3. Note - Debug : Profile : Draw Calls (for me it's approx 74%)

4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 but in a browser - draw calls show normal (for me < 1%)

Observed result:

I had been testing in Chrome with no problems (r163) - the display scales up from 450 to 1080 with smooth 60 fps. When tested on Node Webkit significant stuttering was observed due to poor display refresh rate. A little investigation showed that Node was using up a lot of resource making the draw calls. Is this a Node Webkit bug or is it a bug in C2? I did a search of the forums and couldn't find any other reports of something like this.

Expected result:

Node Webkit should perform the same as the Chrome browser - smooth 60 fps when scaled up with such a simple layout.

Browsers affected:

Chrome: no

Firefox: no

Internet Explorer: no

Operating system & service pack:Windows 7 family edition

W7 SP1 x64

Sounds like you're getting software rendering in node-webkit but not in a browser. I'm not sure why this would be, but node-webkit is currently based on Chrome 32 and Chrome 33 is out, so maybe there's some difference there. Closing as I don't think there's anything we can do about this.

OK - thanks ASHLEY.
